Hair Issues...

So I am totally loving the 'Ombre Hair'- Look... but I am afraid not enough people will understand it if I try it? Coming back from a sunny vacation, the sun completely bleached out my hair leaving about a 2 inch margin of what used to look natural now look skunky. I have been wanting to try the Ombre look, but I am hesitant to take the final leap. What are your thoughts about the look? To some the style is intended to look 'mis-cared' for/ 'I'm-so-busy-I-don't-have-time-to-dye-my-roots-&-I'm-super-confident-with-my-2-toned-look' and to others it just looks 'lazy' & 'dirty' (literally my mommas words for it). But I kind of am adoring how cheeky chic it is...!? I think it is a fun new twist for us girls that want the best of both worlds (blonde & brunette)!! My only fear is not being able to pull off the look & looking like a dirty hick...

But this style is perfect! I think her hair looks intentionally flawed to perfection...

Drew Barrymore's is a bit extreme for me. Although I like how it fades to blonde, a little more subtle transition might be better suited for a girl like me...

So, the Ombre Look was intended for a couple reasons... First of all, it was supposed to be a chic way for women to grow out their natural colored hair & not have to worry about fixing their roots. Basically your hair stylists applies color to part where the 2 tones meet so that they blend better & gradually fade. Some apparently ask to have their ends lightened even more, but the main point is that basically the ends of your hair are already fried from being bleached out.. i.e.. Rachel Bilson...

THIS IS WHAT I AM GOING FOR!! I love this look... not to extreme, yet still pretty sassy.. perfection...

What are your thoughts on the Ombre Hair? I would love to hear your opinions.. good or bad!!

The good thing about hair is that you can always change it. If you want to try it I say GO FOR IT!! If it doesn't work out, try something else. Find a stylist that you trust to do it the way that you want it. Out of all of the pictures above I agree that Jessica Biel's looks the best. GO FOR IT!

oooohhh Krit. If she wants to talk about dirty, we can discuss her kitchen covered in a nice flour/water paste. Ombre hair.. not so much. I think the second picture, drew barrymore, and jessica biels hair look stunnniinnngg. You could pull it off!
